Embodiment Construction

[0015] The present invention relates to blast resistant panels. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to blast resistant panels that are designed for use in a tactical shelter. In another embodiment, to reduce the weight of a tactical shelter, a lightweight panel system is disclosed herein.

[0016] Various honeycomb types of sandwich structures with different facings have been used in the past in existing shelter systems (Department of Defense standard family of tactical shelters—2000). However, to date blast resistant panels have failed to yield satisfactory secondary fragmentation impact resistance since certain design criteria have not been considered. To address the problem of absorbing the secondary fragmentation energy, a new multilayer sandwich panel design is disclosed in the present invention.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, a panel according to the present invention comprises at least three layers, with a frontmost layer (i.e., the layer on the...
